[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/5] librte_kvargs: make rte_kvargs_free() be consistent with other "free()" functions

[Pawel Wodkowski <pawelx.wodkowski@intel.com>]

It is desired that all type of *_free() functions mimic behaviour of
libc free() function. This function does nothing if given parameter is
NULL. This patch add this behaviour for rte_kvargs_free().
